I actually don't think Twi is immortal now... I think that only Natrual Alicorns are immortal. I mean, look at Princess Cadance. Celestia gave her her wings (or horn IDK which it was). It looks like she grows like any odinary pony while for Alicorns it takes much longer. O.O

this is a good piece. It has potential for a great story, and your description box makes a very solid point. However, I have read on mlpforums.com that Meghan McCarthy has confirmed that Twilight will not outlive her friends, so the whole "twilight being immortal" thing that everyone seems to think is not true. Not trolling, just letting you know. That small fact aside, you really are a great artist, and I do enjoy your work.

Seconded, I want this be be a thing in the show tooTwilight questioning being an Alicorn should be adressed, maybe at the end of season 4 or maybe a villain plays on Twilight's doubtsArt wise a pretty good piece, the body proportions are just right and I like how her wings are fully out yet kept down displaying a sadness for the power she's achievedBut most of all I like that eye, I can almost see it being a plot point that as she uses dark magic one of her eyes becomes like that and can't be reversed (mostly a fanfiction plot point but the potential is still there for a real episode)

I too see the attraction for sad ponies, they bring a true juxtaposition to the otherwise colourful and lively show premise and can be really powefulNice work

Rise and shine, Miss Sparkle. Rise and...shine. It would seem that...your troubles are all that have affected you throughout your life. Time has its mysterious ways, and...well...you look like you haven't grown at all....minus the... wings...but.. time has its weird ways. So wake up, Miss Sparkle. Wake up and...smell the ashes.

Oh, I thought the dark magic was pushing itself to the surface, since becoming an alicorn would probably bring out latent power, and therefore the suppressed dark magic was seeping out. It's too dark for the show, but having that creeping corruption turning her into a villain would be freaking amazing. Then an epic quest for the remaining Mane 6 to go to Zebra and/or Griffon lands and get some kind of cure. Yeah... I might just have to make a fanfic about that

Ugh, not this again.We've gone over it several thousand times already. Twilight Sparkle, pony, female, formerly unicorn, now alicorn, born in Canterlot, resident of Ponyville, bearer of an Element of Harmony, specifically that of Magic, student of Princess Celestia, most recently Princess of Equestria, very diligent and studious and deeply beloved by me. Now, cut that out already or I'll hit you with the Canterlot Encyclopedia, part A-H.

I've noticed that you're always the first one to defend whenever someone is overly harsh about something she does. Just to be clear, I don't see anything wrong with this. I'm just a little curious why.

Hey leave him alone! Some of us don't like the fact that Twilight is now a whore for corporate America to poison the minds of our children and has the god-given right to say what he wants, so leave him alone you hater in bronies-clothing!

Well the fact that it was probably a mandate from corporate America instead of the writers doing their own thing. That's why she's different from Simba. Real character development isn't forced, it flows naturally like water.
